Best way from Dallas, tx to Anchorage, AK

Anything less than 5.00 a mile seams like a losing bid on that lane I would think.....as I get 7 to 10000 a week to stay in Midwest region and you are going to kill 2 weeks with a lot of extra expense

 

It sounds like a fun experience but I'd rather do it (and actually plan to do it) in my van camping along the way and not in a truck. I'd love to drive it in a truck if it pays. I just looked on DAT and there isn't any info I can see with my subscription on rates to or from Anchorage. I found just a few loads to Anchorage, some from Cleburn Tx and some from Seattle but didn't list rates. Out of Anchorage I looked over a month's span and didn't see any loads at all. Sure they are there but not on DAT.

 

Depending on which way you go. The places I fueled were Grand Prarie/Ft. Nelson/Watson Lake/Whitehorse/Tok. I've never been to Anchorage but there was plenty of places to fuel when I got to Fairbanks. I'd imagine that Anchorage would probably have plenty of fuel options. I have to add, that this is with comdata and fueling at petrocanada. If you have to pay with cash or something else, those stops might not work(unmanned.)

The road from the Canadian border to Tok is pretty rough(think I-40 west of Flagstaff.)

 

The similarities are striking; only different time of year.

 

I would need 35K just to move a load up.

You minght as a shipper find it really cheap to box it with a container TONU and load it onto a civilian hire Russian heavylift that is between military jobs for revenue.
